Surgery to fix fistula

Not to good recovery so far for me.
First my son drove me 3 1/2 Hours to ER so they could assess me. After finding out I had acute UTI. I was sent home with bactrim... Only to get a call today saying that I'm resistant to all oral antibiotic so i will need to have IV or injections 2x a day. So since I am far from them.. They are going To work with my primary to figure out how to work this out. I just want this over... Part of me wants to go stay in hospital so they can monitor me. Plus they food isn't that bad since I really don't have appetite anyway! well here we go again.

you are lucky the food in your hospital tastes good, the one i go to is yucko!

Well got an appt today no hospital. Gonna put a pik u?? In me and inject the antibiotic 2x a day. Home nurse will come out and do this. God I hope my insurance will cover all this. I ran out of hours at work so have to pay for insurance $600 a month. Wow I need to get back to work??

Pic line means you don't have to be poked for an IV over and over again. It must be a pretty harsh antibiotic and they are worried about you blowing out veins. My prayers are with you, Lea70.

Well what a great experience that was. Here I am 41 yr old woman... Wearing a cath an getting a pic line and the nurses are male and very handsome. Well I can still think about sex even though I can have it... Hahaha!!

my fistula repair surgery is tomorrow. but i trust my doc he said i will be in hospital 4 or 5 days. can't wait 'til it's over!

i've had a pic twice, but it doesn't work if they are checking for coumadin level, it breaks down too quick, so they still had to poke me!

Good luck on your fistula repair surgery tomorrow. I will be praying for you. Grt plenty if rest. Did your dr say how long you will be out? I decided not to go back to work 1/2 days just to much so I will just be paying for my insurance for this month.

doc said i will be in hospital for 5 days, as far as how long it will take to heal, i'm saving that question for after surgery, he'll have a better idea. leaving in 15 minutes, thanks for the prayers.
